DETROIT — Kevin Durant sat and smiled, trying to speak loudly enough to be heard in a jubilant locker room.
''We're excited because we finally got a win," Durant said.
Durant had a season-high 41 points, and the short-handed Phoenix Suns snapped a three-game losing streak with a 120-106 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.
''It's not fun losing one in a row, definitely not three in a row,'' Suns coach Frank Vogel said.
Phoenix was without its banged-up backcourt of Devin Booker (calf) and Bradley Beal (back) and a trio of guards took advantage of more playing time and shots.
